Streaming giant platform ‘Netflix’ has dropped the key art, premiere date, and trailer for the Henry Cavill- starrer season two of ‘The Witcher’, which will set to release on December 17 this year.

Just a month later, season two production came to another stop as Cavill incurred an injury on set. Production was wrapped in April.
